Are You There Yet

Are you a treasure or just a trophy
Are you a nice to have or a necessity

Are you the text message or the phone call
Are you making an effort or none at all

Are you a date night or just a late night
Are you the postcard or the plane flight

Are you a roller coaster or just a bike ride
Are you a mind blower or just a nice time

Are you closer now or just between the sheets
Are you making actual love or make believe

Do you ever question it or just accept it
Do you offer it or just expect it

Are you the main course or the side dish
Does it empower you or just impoverish

Are you doing it or just on the to do list
Are you the go for it or the I wish

Are you a make it happen or a wait and see
Are you a definite or a supposed to be

I’m chasing my dreams while I’m awake

I’ll only miss the opportunities I didn’t take

I’ll only lose if my eyes ain’t on the prize

Sacrifice is to choose paying a price

If only 5% are willing to give then only 5% will get

The other 95 will just have to accept whatever’s left

Whatever’s left is the result of anything other than my best

Do better to get better, expect nothing less

Today I seize the beast by the horns

My painted face to the storm

Naked as the day I was born

Deep in the thorns

Redeeming all the pieces of me that were torn

This is the healing..… See More
